A Charming Cottage in Prince Edward County

3 Bedrooms

6 Guests

2 Full Bathrooms

Vacation Rental

Property Description

Enjoy our updated, four-season turn-of-century 3 bedroom farm home in the heart of Wellington. The village is tiny and cute and right on Lake Ontario, meaning: beaches! The village beach (Wellington Beach) is a short walk, and Sandbanks and North Beach provincial parks are short drives (a provincial park pass is included with your stay). If you're in The County to visit wineries (which are open year round), there's no better home base than Wellington as we're much closer to all the best wineries.

Our farm home was built in the late 1800's and retains much of its original form and character, including the floors, moulding and hardware; the kitchen, bathrooms and gas fireplace are all pretty new, making our cottage a comfortable and unique place to relax in Prince Edward County no matter which season you arrive.

Guests will have access to our warm and cozy gas fireplace, A/C unit in master bedroom, free wifi, dishwasher, microwave, large outdoor natural gas barbecue, a kitchen stocked with dishes and cookware etc, parking, a large yard with a picnic table and bistro set, a 32" flat screen HD TV, Apple TV and Netflix, large soaker tub, a queen bed, a double bed, two twin beds, a beach pass, front porch with four Muskoka/Adirondack chairs, a washer, dryer iron and ironing board.

You can easily walk to the main street in Wellington, accessing the grocery store, restaurants, a hardware store, a pharmacy, cafés, a bank, a salon and more. The Millennium Trail (a 40k+ converted rail trail) is at our doorstep. If staying in the winter be sure to bring your x-country skis! The village also boasts a fantastic selection of galleries (be sure to check out the Studio Tour!).

Beaches, golf courses and wineries are a very short drive away. Picton is a 25 minute drive and it has more shops etc. if you need them. If you're a keen cyclist, hundreds of kilometres of quiet country roads are yours to conquer.

The County is beautiful any time of year and there's no better place to stay than at our country home! Wellington is perfect for all travellers, whether a couple looking for a quiet, romantic getaway, or a young family seeking a spot to test out their sandcastle-building skills. Our family falls into the latter category and we LOVE that in Wellington you can walk for three minutes and enjoy the best restaurants in the County (nobody should have to be DD when vacationing in wine country), walk a few minutes further to the beach, or just hang out in the backyard and play leapfrog on the grass. People affectionately call Wellington "paradise" — we definitely agree and hope you will too!

We're available (via phone or email ) for any questions that may come up during your stay.

The cottage is available for minimum 2-night bookings year round, except for peak summer season from Canada Day to Labour Day. During peak season we only accept weekly bookings with SATURDAY check in/check out. All long weekends throughout the year require a 3-night minimum stay.

Kitchen and bath linens are provided, and beach towels are available upon request.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Timid Duck and it was the perfect spot for us! We were able to enjoy a lovely dinner at the Devonshire Drake restaurant on Friday night and it was less than a 5 min walk from the house. We had lots of space to cook and serve up a great dinner on Saturday night with pretty much everything we needed in the kitche... Read More

My daughters and I had a fun Girl's Weekend in Wellington staying at The Timid Duck. It was a frigid few days but we were warm and cozy as the furnace at The Timid Duck truly belted out the heat. We went to two fabulous restaurants which both were no more than 5 minutes walk away. On the Sunday we went wine tasting, also a pretty frigid affair but... Read More
